Music Monday: Smells like Jazz

Today's post is pre-scheduled and posted by a robot, 'cause I'm either in Macau or Hong Kong. Or on a boat between the two. On a side note, that cover art sort of looks like a robot, no? Or at least a strange refrigerator with an ice dispenser. Call me crazy, whatever. Weigh in in the comments below!

Back to Music Monday. Today's pick that I made a few days ago is due to my rediscovered love of jazz. I blame Jamie Cullum, and possibly the Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack (hey, it's November, which therefore allows me to listen to Christmas music without guilt). Anyway, I've been looking around for modern and contemporary jazz (please leave a comment if you have suggestions!), and in the process I came across the trio The Bad Plus. In addition to original compositions, they also cover pop and rock songs. The pick I have for you is their jazz interpretation of Nirvana's "Smells like Teen Spirit." I already like the original, and the jazz version is just as appealing.

As usual, the video is below. I know of a few download links, but they're somewhat less than legal, so I won't promote them here. That's all I've got, so enjoy the song! And remember to comment if you've got musical suggestions or a retort to my robot/fridge assertion.
